[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Andrew’s is for the most part a lovely community, open and inclusive in spirit in the broadest possible ways. For most it is a wonderful experience. The challenge with St. Andrew’s is there is a small but dominant contingent of families that do not embrace diversity in the broadest sense - of curriculum, thought, and community. Children from those families become more influential than they merit and promote a suburban culture of privilege, elitism, and lack of care for the school community and diverse elements of the world at large.
This leads to pockets of bullying and peer influenced substance abuse.  That, combined with an administration that means well but also is blind to or incapable of handling the discord is unsettling.

SAES is the little engine that could - if only it owned up to and addressed the flaws of the few that spoils the benefits for the many. [/quote]

You are really using vague language here. And it isn’t helpful. If you are going to make a criticism, just do it. Are the kids spoiled? Does it lean to the right? Do minorities feel uncomfortable? Is there bullying. Please explain yourself.[/quote]
